Always Been Super Curious And Wanted To A Make A Poll Like This For A While. For Writers (of Any Kind!)

always been super curious and wanted to a make a poll like this for a while. for writers (of any kind!) what's the act you struggle with most?

almost 24K in... and getting stuck. :/ hoping to reach 25K+ today and just unstuck myself lmao

writing feels like a riddle right now: wrote 5k and scrapped and rewrote, and then wrote up to 10k but then scrapped 7k and now I’m at 8k again. but still feel happy.

man that was so much math.

I LOVE FAIRYTALES also hello

📌 Writeblr Introduction

Hello! My name is Amadeus, but you can call me Ami, and I'm brand new to tumblr! I'm a Latine vsinger and booktuber in my 20s, so not your usual writeblr, but I hope we can get along! My mind's been dreaming up stories for as long as I can remember, and since I'm only just making my way into the booktubing scene, I wanted to challenge myself to actually bring one of those daydreams to life.

the one thing i want to be able to do as a writer is make people come back to something ive written. i want that piece of text to haunt them, i want their thoughts to be briefly consumed by this. i want this to be something they remember long after its time. thats the one thing i want to do

REMEMBER: WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON A PIECE OF WRITING, NEVER DELETE ANYTHING

Ok, so you have a big paper due in July. You make a folder for the project called "Big Paper." You get to work, and save a file titled "PaperTopic.doc" in that folder.

You go back to your draft the next day. DO NOT simply open "PaperTopic.doc" and start editing/adding/revising. You are going to make a folder titled "Paper Versions." You are going to make a copy of "PaperTopic.doc." You are going to move it into the "Paper Versions" Folder.

Then you are going to go back to the original "PaperTopic.doc," and rename it "PaperTopic 5.14.24.doc." And you're going to repeat this EVERY DAY that you work on this project. Soon the "Paper Versions" will look like this:

I post about this every 6 months or so, and I will continue to do so; because one day, it WILL save your ass. You're welcome.

Also, back it up to an external hard drive at least once a week.

Sorry not sorry for the person I'm becoming when I have a new idea for a story. Those ideas need my attention right now. I will be gone to another universe that you will probably never see on paper.
